Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Akira Toriyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Santiago Calirante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toriyama kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Three 6 Mafia - It's a Fight. Calirante has chosen Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff as his entrance music. This should be fireworks!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Curtly Ambrose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ottis Toole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toole has chosen Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
